Evaluation of Immorality.

Question 7

Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?

When doing our Preliminary task we were divided into groups, these groups contained people we didn’t really know as we hand not been at school for long. I was placed into a group with 3 other people. We immediately began working on our storyline. But each time someone came up with a idea it got pushed aside. In the end we had a rough idea of what we were going to do in the scene. We planned out the camera movement and how we were going to include the 180 degree angle and the walking through a door.
When it came to shooting it we hadn’t done much else. The script was a last minute make the night before and we had no idea about what we were going to do for the camera angles. In the end we improvised most of the shots causing the group to argue about how we wanted the shots done.
The editing of the task was difficult as we had no teaching previously about how to use Adobe Premier. After being taught the basic stuff we hurried through the editing as fast as we could. This caused it to be shabby and not as good quality as it should have been.

We learned a lot from that experience not to edit in big groups as arguments will happen and then the work doesn’t get done. When coming to the thriller opening we found it a lot easier we were put into groups of 4 again but instead we did a plan for everything that we were going to do. We mapped out our idea in the beginning and worked our way around that. The filming took place on different days but all 4 of us turned up and put I views in. We used loads of different shots according to people’s ideas because they might have been good. When it came to editing the film we were taught how to do different things when we wanted them. For example we wanted one of our scenes tinted once we were taught how to do this we were able to. This aloud us to use different techniques which made the thriller better. We learned how to add different text types and use them, this made our thriller stand out more as we didn’t have a typical text that everyone else would be using.
